James Coglan created Terminus, which he dubs a Capybara for real browsers. Unlike most Capybara drivers, Terminus aims to drive as many browsers as possible. This new 0.4 release supports IE 8 and Android’s browser, and provides some nice speed improvements as well.

Attachinary uses Cloudinary, a cloud-based image manipulation and management service. That means no local image manipulation software is required — bye bye ImageMagick. It's as un-intrusive as possible and like the easiest uploader to add to your app. Since it uses Cloudinary, you’ll need to grab a free account there in order to try it out.

The next major version Rails is of course not ready for prime time yet, but good documentation is already bubbling up about a few of its marquee features: strong parameters, the queue API, and various caching improvements. Don’t forget you can contribute to those release notes and to the updated Rails Guides through the excellent community-driven docrails project on GitHub.
